Thursday Thirteen Comforters to Comfort

For the past few months, the ladies at my church, have been working on these quilts for a Service Project for a home for girls that age out of Foster care. It is a very worthy cause. I have been collecting the quilts as the ladies finish them. I have an attachment to each of them.... some because I sewed on them a little, matched the fabrics for it from what was donated, or donated the fabric myself, some because they are so Beautiful, some because I know some one learned a new skill working on it, or sacrificed to donate whether the materials or soo much of their time. So before I take them to the girls I wanted to share the beauty .....

1.The fabric from this one was donated by a mom of 5 girls and she knew the girls would like the brown.



2.I had this blue and found a cute Hawaiian fabric to coordinate

3.This one looks like a Monet painting

4.This one is sewn so well it does not look homemade but it, was along w/ the one just above,was sewn by a woman recouping from Cancer Surgery.

5.Tthere are two of these that are very similar and the craftsmanship is soo good the lady who did these did 3 others also,she taught many of us new skills, she is amazing!!! I had a bunch of patriotic fabric so there is a bit of a theme

She machine quilts so beautifully


6. this one shows that most of them are tie quilted

and the bindings




7.The other similar one -- I love the channels on the stripes

8.The Eagles -- maybe there is a a girl who is thinking of the military or w/ a cute soldier in her life:)


9.this one is my my favorite color w/ stars--- another of my good friends did 3 or 4 she is such a natural seamstress

10.I called this pebbles and flowers-- The ladies who did this one did 3 and are always willing to do So much, it was worked on by multiple generations of one family.




11.This one is so fresh-- A young girl in the age group of the recipients put these colors together


12.This one is so crisp, sewn by a young mom of 4 young boys who is so talented she makes it look easy.

13.Texas bandannas- sewn by a native Texan

And as a Bonus this one shows off a talent to coordinate the stitching w/ the subject matter

flowers on flowers

Bubbles on the fish

and the lining is the sweetest yellow. I love this look and the feel is sooo nice.

Thank you so much everyone that helped in anyway -- I know these will give the comfort that was so lovingly stitched into them.
